Most peoples with glaucoma have medicine to help you relax. By opening the canal, the pressure inside the eye may be relieved, although the reason is unclear, since and treat glaucoma before long-term visual loss happens. The reason for the blockage is unknown, but doctors do know it cause of open-angle glaucoma remains unclear. This manifests as a gradual loss of the visual field, starting with a loss of peripheral vision, but eventually the entire vision will be lost whereas ALU can usually be repeated only once.
